2001-09-20 by Mark T. Owen

I got them from Musician's Friend. Try this link: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ex/shop/perc/01092009323502406809411247554?pid=444910
or go to http://www.musiciansfriend.com/� and search for Pintech in the Percussion section.� Most of the Pintech rack clamps and parts fir the DTXpress.
